Hey guys, quick question. For Essay 2 (impact), would the prompt be a part of the word limit (200 words)?

It won’t hurt to say you used AI for grammar and research purposes

Quote:

I can't answer that part. What i know is...it's better to mention it if you use AI than not mention it and they find out.

Also if you opt for using AI it shouldn't be too much. Maybe just to refine your own essay or proofread not that you will ask AI to write the whole thing for you.

Please note this is my personal opinion
I am pretty sure they have tools to detect AI too and this point stands

Not in the essay

Most schools have a separate box for this asking you to explain your usage of AI... if they didn’t ask for it, I don’t think you have to go out of your way to mention it

They have tools but the recent conversations are clear that the admisison committe isn’t checking the AI use in essays to qualify or disqualify them

However, an essay with mistakes in grammar may be rejected as it shows that the candidate failed to use Technology at disposal to avoid the trivial inaccuracies in correct sentence formations.

So AI scores in range of 30-40% shouldn’t be considered a red flag.

Absolutely... that’s the point

Yes that’s true. If you get an invite for an interview... it should feel they are talking with the same person as the one they are interviewing

As long as you keep that consistent, you should be fine
